You, sir, said it perfectly. While I still very much enjoy the game, it is very much a fundamentally different game with the update.

The p2 8 wit start was absolutely necessary to negate p1 advantage, but the +1 wit per kill changes the balance of the UNITS. I find that I have been playing much more defensive games due to the now inherent weakness of the runner and the need to protect my medic (a now absolutely necessary unit).

That part of the game wasn't broken, why fix it? It is still a very enjoyable game, and for some reason it's made my local games more fun.

I don't claim to know all the answers but it will be interesting to see the long term effect this update has on league play. As a newer player, it's easy for me to change my tactics. Will it be so easy for the top 200?
